ABSTRACT ‘Cognitive Computing’ is a search for computer science-type software/hardware elements that are consistent with known neurobiological facts about the brain and give rise to observed mental processes of perception‚ memory‚ language‚ intelligence‚ and‚ eventually‚ consciousness. Very simply speaking‚ Cognitive Computing is when computer science meets neuroscience to explain and implement psychology. Cognitive computing refers to the development of computer systems modeled after the human

Cognitive Processes Cognitive processes affect everyday life‚ often occurring within fractions of a second. Three of these cognitive processes are language‚ attention‚ and problem solving. Language is used to effectively communicate. For bilingual children developing cognitive language abilities‚ understanding how to appropriately use two different languages to accommodate the need of other speakers is very similar to how monolingual children communicate. Attention refers to monitoring and processing
